New Zealand

New Zealand lies in the Pacific Ocean, 1.600 km to the east of Australia. It consists of two large islands and a number of smaller ones. It’s similar in size to the United Kingdom but it only has a population of about 3.8 million people. Most of them live in the North Island and over one million in Auckland, which is the country’s largest city. New Zealand’s capital is Wellington.

The South Island is a little larger than the North Island and is famous for its Southern Alps. You might think you were in Switzerland, not New Zealand. The eastern side of the Alps is dry but the west coast has a lot of rainfall and magnificent forests, lakes, mountains and glaciers. Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island. It is smaller than Auckland but has good international travel links.

The main characteristic of the landscape is its diversity: mountains, lakes, rivers, beaches, hills, volcanoes, rainforests and fjords are all contained in quite a small area. From the volcanoes of Tongariro national Park to the cliffs of Fjordland, New Zealand’s thirteen national parks contain an amazing range of scenery, beautiful walking tracks and various plants and animals that are not found in other parts of the world.
